Please note that the discussion is still ongoing. I am thinking about filling a RfC on this.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 22:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the heads up. I had seen some activity over there but last time I looked in didn't see anything I could add. I'll come take a look after I cook supper. (And, well, eat it. :)) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- We could really use a few clear declarations by neutral editor on whether 1) the quotation should stay or 2) the quotation should go.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 22:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I knew this would happen: [1]. They will try to push this undue fact everywhere, I am sure History of Poland, History of Lithuania, Poland, Lithuania will see it soon. Help... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 18:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I wish I could help sort it all out, but I'm afraid that I am not an expert on the history of Poland & Lithuania. My involvement at Sejny, as you know, grew out of a simple interpretation of WP:RSUE. Since I've been involved there, I feel comfortable continuing in that capacity, but as for expanding into other articles, I would really suggest that it matters proceed this way you solicit contributions neutrally at a relevant project, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Europe. Good luck. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:42, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- i noticed yr appeal at WP:ALBUM about assessing articles and whatnot. i fear i may be contributing to yr workload as i'm putting the {{album}} tag on articles without... sorry about that ;-) anyhow, i've never really assessed any for quality before, but just wanted to stop by and give you a shout to show someone's listening, etc... i'm working on general gnomery around the project at the moment but will likely try and give y'a hand later. best, tomasz. 20:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. :) That's actually a big relief to me. I'd hate to think that we traditionally get *that many* new albums to assess in a week. I don't know how many I've assessed, but I'd like to think I'd make some dent in the backlog! Assessing isn't hard for the most part. Once in a while I get one that requires some thought, but usually it's just a matter of slapping a "stub" template on the main article & marking it on the talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Just thought I'd mention that User:Jogersbot will put an {{album}} tag on appropriate articles providing some bits of info are there. See User talk:AlexNewArtBot/AlbumSearchResult for more. Good job for working on these lists. --Fisherjs 19:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the "welcome back", and I apologize for any confusion because the edit was by one of my alternate accounts. I hope you'll continue your good work at the drawing board; I'm rather fully engaged in another Wikipedia-related project. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Not a problem. It's not like it wasn't very quickly evident who you were. I'll continue at the Drawing Board, but you are more than welcome to return whenever you like. Considering how long you flew solo on that, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd like a more extended break. :) You know, people are always very quick to answer at the other help desks. I wonder why this one is such an orphan? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:09, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Dunno, I can only speculate. First, it's a bit of a niche, which means that the questions can get a bit repetitive. Second, if one person has been doing most of the answering (which was the case before I took a spin at it, I think; in any case, I jumped in when someone else said they were going on wikibreak), then other editors probably figure the matter is being handled and they should work elsewhere. Third, it's pretty low volume, so if an editor is interested in helping out, visits to the page are as likely as not to come up empty, either because there were no posts or because the posts have already been answered; after a while, it may seem pointless to spend the time checking.
- Maybe the best thing to do is to continue the de facto arrangment in place now: when a editor who has been doing most of the answering decides to shift to something else, or take a break, post at the Wikipedia talk:Help desk page. That sort of makes WP:DRAW a subsidiary of WP:HD, which seems okay to me. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 14:59, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not very familiar with wikipedia editing, so I was unable to fix the vandalism, but someone has changed song titles and a highway name to be obscene.

Dear Moondriddengirl:
Could you please suggest an e-mail address where I can write to you privately regarding certain things you've recently corrected on Wikipedia? I don't wish to write about these matters here. Hopefully you can understand.
My own address:
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.0.46 (talk) 16:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. If you register for an account, you will see an option in the toolbar on the left-hand side of this page to e-mail me. You can contact me that way. (Many of Wikipedia's editors can be reached in this way, but not all. It is a feature that editors choose to enable.) For privacy reasons, it is better not to put e-mail addresses on Wikipedia pages (which is why I have removed yours here). --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I made a mistake on the Margaret M. Petruska article. I broke a copy right law because I didn't add a link and because (word for word) i copyed it (but i was going to say that the text was taken form the website) so please delete it for me. Thankyou.--Greenwood1010 00:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It's done. For future use, there's a template you can place on a page to request its deletion when you're the only substantial contributor to an article: {{db-author}}. Blank the page and place that at the top, and it will notify the speedy deletion administrators that you request that the page be deleted. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You've put a copyright disclaimer on the sandbox-restore of Chitauri that you created for me earlier on. I was under the impression that this page was deleted on notability and verifiability grounds and that there was no copyright issue. I was also under the impression that users who contributed to Wikipedia did so on the understanding that anything that they put on of their own making automatically became more or less public property under GFDL. Is this no longer the case? If so, shouldn't the GFDL notice under the editing box be removed?
perfectblue 15:17, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The copyright issue arises only in reusing the text of the material without crediting the original authors. As Wikipedia:Copyrights sets out, information on Wikipedia can be used "so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement)". Since the article has been deleted, there is no way to acknowledge the authors, hence the requirement that the material be rewritten in your own words. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:23, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for voting to delete the wua, a group i co-founded ( wait i thought wikipedia wasn't a Democracy...how can we vote?!?!) any how I am admiting defeat and want the article to be removed so this attack...this nightmare can be done with. I feel everyone wants this stupid fight to be over with. i don't mean to be rude i am just very upset.--Greenwood1010 15:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand that you are upset. I have been through processes where my actions on Wikipedia have been scrutinized and questioned, and I know it isn't a comfortable feeling. It isn't, however, an attack. Part of working on Wikipedia is learning to presume good faith and understand that the opinions of others about organizing things aren't necessarily personal. Please see the Five pillars for more about this. Check out #3 and #4.
- As I indicated at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Wikipedia_Users.27_Alliance, I believe you are all operating in good faith in spite of my misgivings about this project. Many other editors have made similar comments. If you want to assist the project in handling vandalism, it may be best for you to join one of the existing groups that do so.
- As far as the MfD is concerned, I am not in a position to close that debate, because I have substantially participated in the discussion. (And it is a discussion, not a vote. Please see the relevant portion of guideline for clarification.) Another administrator may choose to close it prematurely or may allow the debate to continue, but either way, if you no longer intend to defend the page, you may want to simply leave it alone. Step #2 in the dispute resolution process is to disengage, and it's good advice whether dealing with edits to an article or more global issues like this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the message on how to go about voting to reinstate the page on 'Rexist Equilibrium of Life'. I did as you said and I'm keeping my arms crossed to see the outcome. I think the article is a great benchmark in philosophy and needs to be re-instated. I hope you feel the same way I do. Thanks again for all your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rexeken (talk • contribs) 16:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I am happy if I was able to help you navigate the process. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
User:Moonriddengirl/monobook.css
Edit that, add this:

- Okay, now look at your PRETTY BOX you get for new messages! No more babypuke yellow! Ariel♥Gold 23:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- P.S. Be sure you reload the page! Ariel♥Gold 23:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, everything is beautiful. The world is not only good again, but better than ever! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- And, if you don't like my own colors, just tell me what colors you like and I'll help you change them. I've tried a few color sets, but these are the most pleasing, and yet still jarringly obvious enough so as not to blend in, lol. I really love the colors I chose, for a while I had bright purple and blue, but it didn't really fit me, lol. Of course, anything is better than the BabyPukeYellow color the default is! Ariel♥Gold 23:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The green is beautiful. :) I haven't figured out yet how many other colors are impacted. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- This impacts nothing. However, you'll notice the same colors on pages like AD's, because he uses the "Class= messagebox" as a design for one of his talk page boxes. If anything, it is just kinda cool to see, but it won't change or impact anything. Ariel♥Gold 23:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
<reset indent>I meant impact more in the "what it changes" sense. I see that it changes the + and - characters on recent changes. :) I really love the green of the new message. Very vibrant! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ohhhhhh yeah I forgot that I'd changed the colors on my watchlist. Those are the only two items, I guarantee it, and if you want to change them back just let me know and I'll tell you what to remove from the .css. But yeah, the only two changes I've made are the new message box, and the color of the + - chars on watchlist. Ariel♥Gold 23:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I made my - red just to make it show up more. Other than that, I think I can manage. I really, really like the new message box. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey, look at you! Editing code stuff, figuring out colors! See? Pretty soon you'll be showing me how to do stuff! Ariel♥Gold 23:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- LOL! Not hardly. :) With technology, I usually figure out how to do one thing and stick with it doggedly--which is why I thought I knew what I was doing with that .js thing. .css? It's different? :D For the most part, I'm a random button pusher. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hee hee. .js is "javascript", and .css is "cascading style sheet", and it is like, the file that tells your browser how to display content, basically. You can actually customize a whole ton of things via your .css files, but I've really only found the need to do my banner and the + - numbers. Anyway, if you think of something else you want different, holler at me. ~*Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold 23:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you. I do appreciate it. :) In case you haven't noticed, you are totally my go-to girl. If you get sick of it, you're going to have to give notice. ;) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- ROFL As long as I come with a disclaimer stating "Ariel reserves the right to be completely wrong, and to refer any issues she's unable to handle to another editor." ~*Giggle*~ (In all seriousness, you're one of my favorite girl-wiki-friends here, and you can come to me with anything, anytime, and feel free to email me if you ever just want a shoulder for non-wiki stuff, as well.) Ariel♥Gold 00:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I almost missed this one! Ditto. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. What is your favorite color, and once you tell me, can I please have permission to add a little something to this talk page? (If you hate it, you can always revert it lol) Ariel♥Gold 00:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Change away! My favorite color is orange, particularly dark shades. I like most autumnal colors. :) (I had even considered asking you what I might do to make this page prettier. I like a fairly straightforward front page, since I get a lot of newbies & vandals showing up, but that one seems like fair game. :)) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay what do you think of this? Ariel♥Gold 00:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Wow! Very nice! It's not all institutional looking anymore! Thank you! <hugs> --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just want to say sorry for the comment I made yesterday...I am no longer upset with those who "opposed" the Wikipedia Users' Alliance. I have since called for it's deletion and admited defeat. Thnak you and again sorry--Greenwood1010 12:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm glad that you're feeling better, and I do understand that it's disappointing. I hope you saw my reply above. This kind of tension is very common in working on Wikipedia, and reading over those guidelines may help you develop ways to cope with it. Good luck. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please note: this message is being sent out to all involved parties.
Dear Friend, the Wikipedia Users’ Alliance has been deleted. I am sure that perhaps you already knew this. I myself just found out. Anyhow during the debate many mean and rude things where said. I am not innocent myself; I too contributed to the unpleasantness. But now Wikipedia Users’ Alliance is dead, gone forever. But we all must move on, for me and my friends, we have to deal with this loss. However it is important that all of us work together to fight vandalism and not argue with one another. There are many things that I want to say, but I know that they would only add to the mean sprit that fills the “air”. As a Buddhist (Risshō Kōsei Kai) I was reading the Holy Dhammapada yesterday. I came across this line, “Holding onto anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent to throw it at someone, in the end you are the one who gets burned,” how true! Lets us progress forward. WUA Founder User: King of Nepal has expressed similar views such as these to me via e-mail. His majesty said, “We have to move on, move forward. It is in the best interest of Wikipedia and us all.” I agree and hope that you do to. Thanks. --Greenwood1010 12:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Co-founder of the WUA. If you feel that you recived this message in error please let me know. Feel free to responed on my page if you wish.[reply]
Thanks for deleting Carl Farmer, created by User:Alex+levi. I've nominated the two images he uploaded for use in that attack article, Image:Carl 2.jpg and Image:Carl.jpg, for speedy deletion as in the past I've seen an admin speedily deleting images that had been uploaded and used purely for vandalism. Care to take a look and see whether you agree with my tagging? Regards, BencherliteTalk 01:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As a long standing member of the Hackney community I am deeply distressed to find out this evening that the entire articles on Ridley Road Market and Chatsworth Road Markets have been deleted. I spent hours on these. Perhaps a note at the top of the page with alteration advice might have been more appropriate rather than total demolition and a smug little "please feel free to make further comtributions". I'm finding it rather difficult not to be angry with you. The market is a vital part of my community and information was taken from various sources, how can I plaigarise facts on when its open and what it sells. I would appreciate uyour comments on your destruction of my labours and i want them back so i can redraft them. Don't mess with people in this way, you're exploiting your position of power. I've good reason to be angry at you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drfinn (talk • contribs) 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry for your frustration, but Wikipedia has a legal imperative to immediately remove material that is taken verbatim from other sources. Using such material is contrary to the laws of the United States and Florida, where Wikipedia exists as a legal entity. Sentences must not be copied from other sources unless they are legally in public domain. You may wish to review Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you disagree with my interpretation of policy with regards to the deletion of this article, you may request a deletion review, where other administrators can review the article and determine if they agree with the closure. If you choose to do so and have any problems with the process, please let me know and I will try to assist you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:TheBlantonWebsterBand.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

any conclusions on this moonriddengirl? i wrote an appeal.....and added a hangon attribute to the page. the project is strictly involved in a photodocumentary of nyc subways and its people. nyc subways are is pretty viable source/hefty subject....i believe it even makes reference to Bruce davidson (photographer) who explored the project back in the 80's. anyway, please help. it's notable.
